The soccer teacher: teaching love for the game

I don't like the concept of coach in soccer. I prefer to call him a teacher because he must be both a life teacher and a soccer teacher. The first quality it must have is to make children fall in love with the game of soccer. I have met coaches with very little experience but who were able to do it. Why? Because they loved the game and only proposed that, nothing else. The love for soccer is nourished when it is proposed to play and not to do anything else.

Deciphering the secrets of learning

You imagine yourself exploring the intricacies of the human brain, how living matter adapts to the environment autonomously, and how genetics influence the behavior of organisms. Let's dive into a new dimension, where context plays a fundamental role in learning, and we discover that often the expectations of teaching through external programs or schemes are not enough, but it is important to create an adequate context for learning.

Break the chains: unleash players' potential

Using players as robots or containers to be filled with the coach's knowledge, regardless of their ideas and proposals, is one of the biggest mistakes people make. Let's see how useful it can be to use older players to teach and guide younger players, giving them autonomy, responsibility and helping them understand their roles and responsibilities on the field. We see the importance of allowing young players to experience the game, to learn by making and making mistakes, instead of just telling them what to do. The main concept is that the effective coach must allow players to experiment and learn through trial and error.

How the emotional mind affects learning and action

The basic technique does not exist in itself, but is based on a specific objective. To understand what to do in a given situation, it's important to first understand the 'why' of the action. In addition, the emotional part plays a fundamental role in learning and action, since there is no action without emotion, as the neurophysiologist Antonio Damasio argues.

The art of victory: how to define an effective soccer coach

An effective coach is someone who can achieve positive results with normal players, not just with a team of stars. Winning is not a goal but a consequence of the work done. In an uncertain environment such as that of soccer, it is important to evaluate the quality and effectiveness of a coach based on performance and not just on the result. The effective coach works on the individuality and collectivity of his players, working on the 'why' of the action before the 'how'.
